Friday's News

I have to say I'm happy it's finally Friday, it has been a long week and I worked really hard school-wise! The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend and I plan to enjoy it as much as possible.

As I mentioned earlier this week, we were expecting a litter. Cammack's GH, one of my favorite does, ended up losing her litter. There was just one baby and it was too big. This isn't the first time this has happened to her, it's actually pretty normal for her, and I try not to get my hopes up when we're expecting a litter from her. I will give her a few weeks to recover and then I plan to breed her again, I haven't decided if I want to breed her to Cowan's Riptide or Frank's F2. Her and Riptide produced another one of my favorite does, KK's Lickity Split and the thought of more rabbits like Lickity excites me, but at the same time, I want to see what we could get from GH and F2.

On a brighter note, we were able to free up a few cages this week by selling some older stock. I ended up selling J's Journey, which....was a hard thing to do, but hanging onto 4 Jr bucks would be ridiculous. I also found a good home for KK's Allie, my last BEW carrier Holland. She was another one that was hard to let go but I'm happy they found great pet homes.

More good news is that we finally got Hunter, our Royal Python started on frozen rats! I know it might not sound like a huge deal, but to us it definitely is. Before, he would only eat live rats and boy, what a challenge it has been trying to find a meal for him every week! It got to the point where we could only find the odd baby rat in the pet stores (way too small!), so I bought my own male and female babies that I was planning to grow and breed. I'm glad I won't have to do that anymore! Now we can go buy a dozen rats, stick them in the freezer, and know that he'll be content for a few months at a time.

Well, that's all that's new this week! I'm hoping to get some pictures of the baby rabbits this weekend. The litters are growing so fast, as usual. I also have to do more site updating soon, although I did get a Guestbook up and running this week (Check it out: www.kritterkorner.net) I hope everyone has a great weekend!
